I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

At six o'clock, the three people in the office clocked out immediately, leaving the entire miscellaneous department empty.

Chapter 18 A secret old news

Su Hao returned to the gate of the community. This time he returned the old newspaper without any urging from his uncle and bought a pack of cigarettes at the counter.

Uncle Gui is still standing in the canteen, watching the news boredly.

Seeing Su Haokou, the first thing he said was to urge him to meet Zi Ning, "Ah Hao, have you contacted An Ning today? Men don't do things like mother-in-law and mother-in-law. They have to strike while the iron is hot. Hurry up and make an appointment to meet."

Su Hao replied awkwardly: "I will definitely call to make an appointment tomorrow, I promise."

After recording the supernatural video, Su Hao originally wanted to find Zi Ning to see if he could realize the material through him. They would meet him sooner or later, just in time to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.

"That's good. I'll give you this pack of cigarettes to help you save some money. Remember to make an appointment to meet at a better Western restaurant. Don't let anyone look down upon you."

"Men, you can't do anything without money. Don't save when you should spend."

After Su Hao returned the newspaper, he suddenly remembered the old news about the unlicensed dentist recorded in the newspaper. The address happened to be in the area of ​​Ping An Apartment. Maybe the two places are next to each other. Uncle Gui is an old man from Kowloon City. Maybe I don't know this.

"Uncle Gui, do you remember the news published in this newspaper? The incident about the unlicensed dentist."

After hearing this, Uncle Gui's expression changed, and he took the initiative to light a cigarette for himself. After taking two puffs, he asked, "What, you police want to take care of this matter?"

"I advise you not to get involved."

When Su Hao heard that there was something going on, he quickly continued to ask for advice: "That's not our area. I'm just curious. If uncle Gui knows, it's best to explain it in detail."

Uncle Gui thought about it for a while, with a look of reminiscence on his face, "You have read the newspaper. It used to be a slum area. It was a mixed bag of good and bad people, but it was very popular. An unlicensed dentist opened a dental clinic in it, and the business continued. It’s not good. It was difficult to make ends meet at first, but then the business suddenly got better and the dentist ran away.”

"The surrounding residents said that every evening when they pass by his house, they will smell the aroma of scrambled eggs and the stench of rotten things. The mixture of the aroma and stench makes people feel sick, like The smell of a dead body after death.”

"The strange thing is that someone called the police, and the police went in to investigate and found no body, but found a few blood stains. They finally concluded that the dentist killed his wife and ran away early because he was afraid of going to jail."

"These losers, how could it be possible that the dentist killed his wife? They also have a five or six-year-old daughter."

"You are also a policeman. Tell yourself, could the murderer be a dentist?"

Uncle Gui in turn put the question back, and it was obvious that he sympathized with the dentist, perhaps because he was also poor before.

Su Hao did not answer and continued to inquire, "These are mentioned in the news. I want to know some old news that was not mentioned in the news. It is said that there were accidents in that slum area every time during the Bon Festival, for many years."

Uncle Gui immediately slapped the counter and said with some indignation: "This is the blame. If the police had caught the murderer, these things would not have happened. It is obvious that the murderer may not be the dentist. How could a man kill someone?" My own wife? Who will take care of the child if I kill him?"

"By the way, the dentist's daughter was later taken to a social welfare home by the government. However, it was said that she was frightened and had brain problems. She kept saying that her mother was still there and would come back to cook for her every Bon Festival. , this incident was reported by the news media at the time, but no one believed it. As for whether this little girl is still alive now, I don’t know. If she is still alive, she would be about the same age as me. It is really an injustice."

Uncle Gui said that his whole face was wrinkled together, as if he had aged a few years.

Su Hao thought for a while and asked: "Is that slum area still there?"

"Why aren't you here? It's just behind XX Road. All the residents there have moved out. In the early years, strange things would happen every few days before and after the Bon Festival. Many people died there. What kind of flour-sucking people are seeking death by exploring? Yes, there are also some homeless people who have nowhere to live. In recent years, we haven’t heard much news reports about dead people.”

XX road?

Su Hao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Isn't XX Road the road in front of Ping An Apartment?

"It's best to go away for a few days before and after the Bon Festival..."

Su Hao recalled what the real estate agent Zhang Wuwa told him when he showed him the house, and subconsciously realized that there might be a big secret hidden in it.

Also, if the slum area is near XX Road, it might be behind the cement wall. Could it be that the wall is not to protect the people behind the alley, but to protect the people in front of the alley? ?

hiss……

If this is the case, the risks involved will be great.

Su Hao left the canteen in a daze and returned home alone. He turned on his computer and searched for a local map. There was a blurry picture of the slum area on it.

Vaguely, the slum area is really behind the cement wall.

It's just that the shack area is twisted and twisted, covered with wires and anti-theft nets. Most of the floors are not high. Many are two or three-story private buildings, and the entrance is on another road.

Are you going or not?

Su Hao turned off the computer and weighed it in his mind before deciding to go.

There is still a week before the Bon Festival, and he only needs two nights at most to finish the work. He must first fill up the energy in the soul orb, so that he will have more self-protection ability and initiative in the future.

Only in this way can we live well in this dangerous world.

As long as you grasp the timing well, you can completely avoid the unknown dangers in the slum area.

There have been no news reports of deaths in the past few years, which means that as long as you don't go into the slum area, you'll probably be fine.

Su Hao prepared in the room for a while. The black windbreaker he was wearing had been exposed to Wuying and Zhang Wuwa, so he had to change his outfit.

The masks I bought before can still be used.

Su Hao searched for a long time in the room, and finally found a very recognizable nightgown. Firstly, because Su Hao had always been a loner, he wore the nightgown alone at home, and no one else knew about it. Secondly, this nightgown was very popular. The robes are popular goods, the kind that cost more than 100 yuan a piece, very ordinary.

Paired with the poker face mask he bought before, even if he stood in front of his uncle, he would not be able to recognize him.

Su Hao put on his pajamas, put on his windbreaker, zipped up the windbreaker, and hid the mask in his shoulder bag. After thinking about it, he took a flashlight and a pair of pliers from home, and finally brought his own gun.

These props are enough for fighting ghosts or people.

Su Hao went to the gate of the community to have dinner and stayed up until about nine o'clock in the evening before taking a taxi and arriving at the entrance of the alley of Ping An Apartment.

The street lights on the roadside were still on, and there were people inside many of the surrounding stores. When Su Hao entered the alley alone, his eyes instantly became dark.

Because there are no street lights inside.

Su Hao took out the flashlight and slowly came to the cement wall. It was still the same cement wall with advertisements as it was during the day. When Su Hao looked over, he felt that there was an open monster's mouth behind the wall.

For a moment, Su Hao had timid thoughts.

The fear comes more from the unknown, especially for people like Su Hao who know a little but don't know the inside story.

He shook his head, turned around and got into the elevator.

He has marked this place as a dangerous place, and he will stay away from it for a short time anyway.

Chapter 19 Spirit Guardian

The Ping An Apartment on the 14th floor was still quiet.

Any sound would be heard far away. Su Hao stepped out of the elevator door. The sound of the mechanical elevator door closing caused the voice-activated lights in the corridor to light up one after another.

It was still dark near the bottom of the corridor.

Su Hao lit a cigarette, took out the key and went to room 3.

Turn around and close the door.

Now that he knew there were dirty things in this place, and they were dirty things that he could deal with at this stage, Su Hao became much calmer inside.

This is the benefit of doing a thorough investigation first and not fighting an uncertain battle.

The HK$2000 information fee was not in vain.

He entered the room, turned on the light, put his backpack on the bed, and then began to adjust the recorder he carried with him. This was mainly because he had just bought it and was still a little unfamiliar with it.

After adjusting the viewing angle and switch, Su Hao placed the alarm clock on the bedside table next to him, took off his black windbreaker and hung it aside. Finally, he took out the playing card mask from his backpack and put it on with his pajamas and mask. Lean on the bed and close your eyes to relax.

It was just past nine o'clock now, and he was planning to wait until 1 o'clock in the morning to start taking action.

At that time, the yang energy between heaven and earth is the weakest, and the yin energy is the strongest. Basically, any dirty things will come out at this time.

Time passed little by little.

I don't know how long it took, Su Hao's ears moved, and suddenly he heard the sound of the elevator door closing, and then a series of footsteps from near to far.

He suddenly lifted himself up from the bed, holding the alarm clock on the bedside table in one hand and pointing the alarm clock forward.

Swish open the door.

The voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on again, and a man wearing a gray shirt and carrying a plastic bag turned around just in time to hear the sound.

Their eyes met in the corridor. The man in the gray shirt quickly lowered his head and turned around, with only a hint of surprise in his dull eyes.

Normally, Su Hao's outfit at the moment was weird enough.

Pajamas and a poker face mask appeared in such a strange and unfamiliar place in an empty place at night. A normal person would probably turn his head and scream when he saw Su Hao dressed like this.

Su Hao just looked past the door without saying a word until the other party stopped at the door of Room 21, took out the key and disappeared into the corridor.

Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went back to the house.

If his prediction was correct, there should be only two living people on the 14th floor at this moment, him and the other party. This person should be the homeless man Zhang Wuwa mentioned, and he is currently the gatekeeper hired by Ping An Real Estate Agency.

A gatekeeper with no salary but food and lodging.

Just now, the two of them were more than ten meters apart and had a quick glance under the night light. Su Hao also felt that there was something abnormal about the gatekeeper.

The other party's nervous reaction was not only a few beats slow, it should be said to be quite sluggish, like a rusty gear. The surprise, excitement, excitement and other emotions on the entire face seemed to have been stripped from the body.

Only a walking corpse remains.

His appearance was also very sloppy, his hair was fluffy and covered his ears, and he was wearing a pair of plastic slippers.

Su Hao went back to his room and thought for a while, then looked at the time on his phone, turned his phone into silent mode, closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

It is now 10:1 pm, still a few hours before [-] am.

The time reached midnight in the blink of an eye, and the originally quiet corridor on the 14th floor suddenly became as lively as a storm, like the side entrance of an elementary school campus after school.

The calm wind in the corridor automatically stirred up a layer of dust, and a few more figures appeared in a daze.

These figures include men and women, old and young, with different costumes. They are like sharks that have smelled a fishy smell. They gather together and whisper, all eyeing the tenants in Rooms 3 and 6.

There was a quarrel going on among them that ordinary people couldn't hear.

"It's been a long time since I've smelled the scent of a living stranger. The one in room 6 is a vigorous man. This one belongs to me."

The speaker was a young woman dressed as a workplace OL.

Perhaps she was too excited about what happened next. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue in the air, and the tongue in her mouth flew several meters away.

"You have a good idea, Shu Mei. I came at about the same time as you, so it's my turn."

The speaker this time was a gorgeously dressed woman wearing a suspender suit. She was about 25 years old and had long hair. As she spoke, the skin on her face fell off piece by piece, revealing the white bones. She looked at the fallen skin as if no one was watching. Picked it up and put it back in place.

At this time, an old man emerged from the crowd. He was wet all over as if he had just been caught in the rain. He looked at the two women who were arguing with each other and persuaded them: "Shu Mei, Xiao Mei, you two, please stop fighting."

"The three of us have been here the longest. There are two living people this time. I am at a disadvantage, so I will leave it to you. At worst, I can go back and take a breath of Yang Qi from Room 21, which will last for a while. I can only do it first. Living like this."

"Just do it."

A small dispute was quickly resolved, and the remaining shadows retreated to their rooms with regret as they saw that they had no part to play this time.

Shu Mei and Xiao Mei looked at each other provocatively and got into room 6 in no particular order.

Subconsciously, they all felt that the person in Room 3 was difficult to deal with. This was an instinctive intuition about dangerous things.

When the old man saw that both women had entered Room 6, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Room 3, where the lights were on. A hint of philistineness was revealed in his greedy eyes, and he sighed to himself: "Since you let me If you touch me, I won't be polite."

"How can you feel as good as taking one breath every day? The good-for-nothing guy in Room 21 is running out of time. He won't be able to smoke for long."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a stream of water stains appeared on the floor in the corridor. The water stains flowed forward silently, and soon came to the door of Room 6, and got in along the crack in the door.

The originally dry floor was covered in a wet water stain. Because the light in Room 3 was always on, all this was recorded by the alarm clock on the counter.

The temperature in the room suddenly began to drop. Su Hao, who was still closing his eyes to relax, suddenly opened his eyes. A pair of white eyeballs appeared behind his poker face. What he saw in his eyes was an old man who looked like a fisherman. Sneaking up, he was approaching the bed.

Su Hao suddenly stood up, jumped down from the bed deftly, and held down the opponent's retreating trouser leg with one hand. After a short and strange fluctuation in the air, the old man's scream could be heard vaguely, and he soon recovered. Calm.

Su Hao stood there in a daze for a second, but he was actually inspecting the situation in the soul orb, and whispered in his mouth: "There is still two-fifths left."

Then he turned around and picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table, touched the many things hidden in his pajamas, and opened the door directly.

The corridor on the 14th floor, which had been filled with undercurrents, returned to calm once again.

Su Hao didn't wait any longer.

According to the information previously obtained from Zhang Wuwa, the 14th floor is a commercial apartment for rent, but in fact it has become a center for the ashes and memorial tablets.

If there is something unusual, then as the only living waker, he must know the specific location of the urns.

Find the other person and ask him.
